Do you mean IP's hosted within your IP range that have DNS entries other
than *.brown.edu?

You have no way to detect domain names that resolve to your addresses.
It would be a fairly pointless policy.  You can refuse to reverse one of
your addresses to anything but *.brown.edu.  That makes it a little harder
for folks to misrepresent things.  If your worry is about acceptable use,
the domain name doesn't have much to do with it anyway.

Does anyone have policy for the administration of domain names at your
site? For example, here at Brown, we are considering a policy requiring
"registration" for domains that sit on our address space but that will not
have a *.brown.edu address. Has anyone gone down this road? Any wisdom on
this?

Thanks much!
